Speak To Me

I mean, Speak to Me is barely a song. It's mostly just a quick intro of noise. It's a really good lead in for the album as a whole, but can barely be classified as a song, so this seems like an easy first choice, like a default selection.

Right, who the hell would vote On the Run over Speak to me.

  true, i usually count it as a breathe "pre-cursor". even on my itunes it 's listed as Speak to Me/Breathe

You’re half a person this means.

Us And Them

I’ve never viewed “dark side” as a collection of individual songs, but as a complete work. This is album is in my top five most listened to albums ever. Listen to the whole thing on Thursday. There are no weak spots in this album. All the parts make it work.  My vote was more, or less, a closed-eye dartboard throw.

I agree with your analysis of the album.

I think you’re not very good at darts though. Us and Them is pretty awesome. I dunno. I get it. What song to pick? As the shittiest? A challenge.

Speak To Me

Has anyone heard The Travel Sequence? I have it on some bootlegs it was replaced by On the Run.
I'll try to post it here but I'm not to good at it.

Speak To Me

Fun fact: I knew half the songs but never heard the full album until I bought the Pulse CD where it’s presented live in its entirety. To this day, the only Pink Floyd albums I have are Pulse, The Wall, Division Bell, & Momentary Lapse. Should probably at least pick up Dark Side & WYWH.

I’m usually much better at darts after 5-8 beers. Any less, or any more, I’m pretty horseshit.

Dark side must have a lot of meaning to you since it came out your  senior year of high school.

Animals is probably #2 for me after Wish You Were Here...
but this tour was the first time I saw Pink Floyd!!
For the first set they played all of Animals,
not in order though...
they opened with Sheep.
For their second set,
they played all of Wish You Were Here in order.
Then came back for one final song in the encore,
and closed the show with Money.
That show is still in my Top 25!!
